The poetic alchemy of one man’s journey into the mystic. Drawing on the perennial wisdom at the root of all world religions Into the Now seeks to deliver afresh the good news of Ontological Oneness through a raw and rambunctious poetic tapestry.
The mystical core of Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Sufism, diverse wisdom traditions, and indigenous thought all share a timely message of hope for a planet drowning in the illusion of ‘otherness’.
In that spirit we journey.
Into the now.
Why the hell are we now perfuming trash bags?
Come on now.
Are you telling me that
on self-destruction
we are just so hell bent.
We compulsively
multiply consumerism’s
chemical footprint.
By mindlessly destroying
with all our toying
Earth’s environment.
We show no
respect for our home.
And we’re overdue
with Earth’s rent.
I wish I could end this one hopeful
be more song less lament.
But we are trading away
the only habitable planet
we even know exists.
In exchange for trash-bags
now featuring a
“Fresh Clean”
chemical scent.
Humanity looks to have ordered hell…
and added on super-sizing.
We’re spending our last days
cooking up chemicals for
refuse-stench disguising.
At least the future smell of
the dead planet will be
slightly less putrefying.
Because marketing companies
now make the trash bags
full of some shit that’s
odor neutralizing.
And yet…
From the quantum of individual
self-sacrificial decisions
hope against hope is arising.
So, I’ll hang up this pen
stop wasting time philosophizing.

I for One…
want to ‘Be’ present.
To shake the dust off ‘Just What Is’.
Because here and now
God is calling for our presence.
Like a smiling
childhood Friend.
And this Friend
has all the good toys.
New eyes,
new ears,
a burden light,
and a big smile
…just like a child!
Eternity is made-up of Our moments
so we’re growing ‘Heaven’ wild.
And We human beings,
We have the capacity
to consciously create it.
We know now
thoughts create forms.
We each manifest
as lives march forward.
Jesus Christ knew
something we’ve forgotten
and into the now,
His life,
Love poured.

There is no such thing as the future!
…ok I came right out and said it.
The future is a myth, so is the past.
Present moments are all we’ve ever known.
That means ‘Heaven’ is here and now.
Not out there…
somewhere-else, some-place, some-time unknown.
I don’t think we are waiting on admittance
beyond some clouded throne.
It must already be taking shape
as what it is destined to one day be.
The inevitable singularity of Love…
What Must Be will one day set us free.
But if we stay caught up in separate egos,
and within thought patterns spin.
Imagined sufferings and pleasures
increasingly become our focus
as games of preferences, we try to win.
The egoic “fruit of the
knowledge of good and evil”*
has grown like this since the garden of Eden.
But, then Jesus Christ came along and told Us,
“the kingdom of heaven is inside you”.**
But I’m not sure we know just what that means.
Could it be that from the
quantum of conscious moments?
We actively manifest
what Heaven will be?
And if we can lay aside separate preferences.
We’d all find another way from the inside.
From a place called Love
that feels like Home.
Heaven will be home grown.
